Data system for storing holographic media

Abstract

A master holographic media storing large quantities of holographic media is disclosed. Holographic images may be recorded onto individual Child Plates. A Child Plate may be obtained by culling a portion of a starting or working parent holographic plate with the Child Plate portion comprising all the necessary data required for holographic image reconstruction. A series of plurality of Child Plates are arranged on and compiled to the master holographic media. The resulting information stored on the master holographic media is capable of being displayed as a continuous three-dimensional holographic image.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to the creation of a holographic media display system that combines physical media or digitally stored files with a digital holographic player hardware system. The result is the creation of a compact and portable multimedia holographic viewing experience.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]A hologram is a microscopic pattern of interference fringes, representing an interaction of two beams of coherent light. Therefore, the hologram is a photographic registration of the interference pattern formed by the two beams, with one of the beams consisting of scattered light from a physical object. Once properly illuminated, the hologram may produce a three dimensional image of the physical object. In recent years, a great deal of effort has been put forth towards developing displays using holography techniques.[0005]FIGS. 1A and 1B depict a side and top view, respectively, of an example of a holographic film prin...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]Accordingly, a system and method is presented by the present invention wherein tiny holographic plates, each plate comprising data to reconstruct an entire holographic image, are assembled on a single piece of fixed media, or a master holographic media. It should be appreciated that the master holographic media may take any form, for example a disk, square, rectangle, or any other form. The individual holographic plates enable a three-dimensional holographic video experience that can be easily replicated, transportable, and displayed in small or large venues, by holographic players of different sizes and strengths.

Problems solved by technology

Although many advances have been made in the field of holographic media display systems, currently there are no systems which are capable of continuously displaying three-dimensional images.

Current technology does not allow for the display of an entire feature film using three-dimensional imagery.

Additionally, present holographic display systems do not contemplate a method whereby holographic media can be recorded, easily replicated, and exhibited in a home environment.

Currently no system exists that is adaptable to large and small consumer applications.

No display systems currently available are capable of using a variety of laser and fixed media sources configured with different laser strengths and lengths.

Also, there are no portable systems, or systems capable of larger displays, with size of installation and / or laser strength not being a barrier in the display application.

In terms of overall size, holographic technology is mainly limited by the size of the individual component parts.

There are no systems currently available which are capable of withstanding the storage capacity or speed requirements needed to display a three-dimensional feature film.
